Old Color Photography

Scrounging around my photo files and found some of my older photography. I believe this is from the summer of 2009 or '08.

These are a few photos I took during a road trip through Portugal. We travelled from Lisboa (actually, Alges- the city where my grandmother (avó or vovó) lived at the time) to the Northern village of Solveira where my vovó was born.

The following are photos of a beach in Cascais, right down the road from the heart of Lisbon. We stopped at this cafe and had some drinks and ate Caracoís (snails).

The girl with the dark hair and sunglasses staring back at the camera was drawing pictures of us. I got her back, on film instead of paper.

This is my vovó, Maria Alfonso. She is drinking a beverage called Sumol which I adored when I was a child. It's like orange soda but....different.

I saw this through my viewfinder and thought the composition was a fluke. click click, thats how I roll.

Photos

Last Night Jim and I took some funny photos.

I'm not sure the theme of these photos but I'm guessing by the 'pregnant' belly, clueless hairstyle and lipstick on the teeth I could be anything from a misguided trashy teen mom to just well, trashy. Jim on the other hand Just threw on a pair of mechanic coveralls threw a little eyeshadow on and smiled like he didn't know how to smile without being a creep.

I guess the above photo was just me doing the posing thing while Jim had fun with the DSLR. The cigarette isn't lit for those of you concerned with my pillow-baby's health.

I enjoy this one and I think I will start a collection of wigs now that my hair is very short. I wasn't able to wear many wigs with my hair very long- it was such a hassle.(hoff)
